北海道的飲食文化（甜點）/ Food Culture in Hokkaido (Sweets)

Hokkaido is recognized as Japan’s food mecca among Japanese people because a lot of vegetables, meats and fish are grown, raised or caught here. Moreover, a lot of dairy products such as butter, milk, yogurt and cheese are produced, as well as wheat, flour, and beans. These are all ingredients needed to make sweets. As a result of this happy marriage of resources, many types of confectionery are made in Hokkaido, and it has become a big industry. Many companies and shops produce their own sweets and some are very popular for souvenirs among tourists. Both Japanese style and Western style sweets are made, and sometimes both styles meet in the same product.
